I changed the update interval for 'Resources' in System Monitor. Immediately as I changed from 1 second interval to 2 second, CPU dropped from near 100% to 50%. I increased the 'Processes' update interval to 3 seconds, and the CPU is now just under 20%.
I closed the settings window, then went to processes (from 'resources'), and it went back to 2 - 5 %. And again back to 'resources', and it went to 20% steady. Does this auto-monitor process continue when system monitor is NOT displayed? Does PCLinux do this operation? Display processes seem to be MUCH faster when booted in PCLOS... -- Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38131 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
